Marc: Because that would require time and money, two things that were in short supply when I bought the 'cord as I was pursuing a master's degree at the time and had a yearly stipend of $6000. Nowadays I make a bit more money but as I am a full-time employee at a state university, a father, and carry eight credit-hours per semester at the Eastman School of Music, I have even less time, and besides in the meantime I have added an Automat MX and a 2.8D to my arsenal of cameras and rarely use the cord anymore. I keep intending to send several of my cameras in for Fleenorization but every time I mention the possibility to the CFO the appliances overhear me and conspire to break, removing the excess cash from the "available" pool. C'est la vie. Bestest regards, Aaron On Apr 28, 2005, at 3:56 PM, Marc James Small wrote: > Why not clean the viewing lens, resilver the mirror, and clean the > viewing > screen?
